Tracheal injury can occur as a rare complication of endotracheal intubation, associated with multiple anatomical and mechanical factors that have been described; however, the actual incidence is unknown due to the few series of documented cases that are reported worldwide. It is considered a fatal compli...
Introducción: La principal causa de morbi-mortalidad pediátrica incluye el compromiso de
la vía aérea, por lo que una correcta intubación salva la vida del paciente. El objetivo de este
estudio fue determinar las variables predictivas de diámetro y longitud de inserción de tubo
endotraqueal en ni...

Abstract Laryngotracheal trauma is rare but potentially life-threatening as it implies a high risk of compromising airway patency. A consensus on damage control management for laryngotracheal trauma is presented in this article. Tracheal injuries require a primary repair. In the setting of massive destru...
Tracheal rupture is an infrequent complication with high morbidity and mortality, of multifactorial etiology, being orotracheal intubation its main cause. Spontaneous tracheal rupture usually occurs after severe coughing and/or vomiting over a weakened trachea. The diagnosis is non-specific, based on hig...
The diagnosis of several diseases in chelonians is a challenge in the veterinary clinic, because a detailed physical examination with auscultation and palpation is difficult due the presence of carapace and plastron. Imaging analysis such as radiography and computed tomography (CT) have been shown to be ...
The purpose of this study was to verify the applicability of the compressive radiographic technique (pressures of 5, 10, 15 and 20mmHg) in the diagnosis of tracheal collapse in small breed dogs, in lateral cervicothoracic radiography. Out of the 50 dogs evaluated, 25 presented tracheal collapse (TG group...
Sirenomelia or mermaid syndrome is an extremely rare congenital lethal malformation with a frequency between 1.5 and 4.2 per 1 000 000 pregnancies.The association of sirenomelia with the VACTERL association is very rare, with twenty cases reported in the literature and only two cases with VACTERL-H. We p...
